Tobin to bow out next?

Canadian Press:

(CP) Frank McKenna has become the second high-profile Liberal to bow out of the race to replace Paul Martin. McKenna's decision Monday followed last week's announcement by former deputy prime minister John Manley that he won't be a leadership candidate.
And Brian Tobin may soon follow suit.
A source close to the former Newfoundland premier said Tobin is not "chewing at the bit" to return to politics either.
"(He is) consulting family and friends and asking himself many of the same questions as McKenna."
The reluctance of the three, all considered among the frontrunners to succeed Martin, suggests the leadership of the Liberal party is not the prize it once was.
